About this game

The Kalimba is an African musical instrument consisting of a wooden board (often fitted with a resonator) with attached staggered metal tines, played by holding the instrument in the hands and plucking the tines with the thumbs. The mbira is usually classified as part of the lamellaphone family and part of the idiophone family of musical instruments.

Members of this broad family of instruments are known by a wide variety of names. The kalimba is also known as marímbula and mbria in the Caribbean Islands.

It was okay. Song choices (tutorial/guide) are super limited (not all are on tune) One of the most usable digital kalimba (I've looked for apps but this is the closest to the actual) as of yet. Downside is you can't save settings with this version and everytime you play, there's ads. Guess it's the developer's way for you to buy the full version. —you also can't exit the app with the back button. Works with home button then task killer—it's a hassle if you'd ask me.

This app is already amazing! Great resource for kalimba players out there, especially those who don't own one already. The app is a little bit clunky at times, but for something free it has a LOT of functionality and works like a charm. Only major request for the developers is to add a save button (or move it to be visible, I didn't find one) when making a tab, and the keys when playing sometimes don't register. Otherwise it's perfect, no complaints.

I love this app, it is great for a beginner and as a musical game. I gave only 4 stars because it is sometimes a bit slow, the user interface lacks a bit of intuitiveness and when you compose the tabs you can't repeat periods (or at least I didn't manage to understand how to do that), then other minor things about the responsiveness. But I also know the developers always update it and I really appreciate that, this is why I wanted to give some constructive feedback. Keep up with the good work!
